ftrace: do not trace library functions
make function tracing more robust: do not trace library functions.
We've already got a sizable list of exceptions:
ifdef CONFIG_FTRACE
# Do not profile string.o, since it may be used in early boot or vdso
CFLAGS_REMOVE_string.o = -pg
# Also do not profile any debug utilities
CFLAGS_REMOVE_spinlock_debug.o = -pg
CFLAGS_REMOVE_list_debug.o = -pg
CFLAGS_REMOVE_debugobjects.o = -pg
CFLAGS_REMOVE_find_next_bit.o = -pg
CFLAGS_REMOVE_cpumask.o = -pg
CFLAGS_REMOVE_bitmap.o = -pg
endif
... and the pattern has been that random library functionality showed
up in ftrace's critical path (outside of its recursion check), causing
hard to debug lockups.
So be a bit defensive about it and exclude all lib/*.o functions by
default. It's not that they are overly interesting for tracing purposes
anyway. Specific ones can still be traced, in an opt-in manner.
